My family I was born into was not my choice.
I appeared, though with what I know, it was my choice.
That was Eros making that choice.
Do you think Eros then becomes Dion?
As this incredible mystery reveals itself, I'd speculate the answer is yes.
The impetus for the attraction between two people who are destined to mate is Eros.
That I am aware of.
You have never thought about where does Eros go?
Well, he or she is the baby.
Yes.
The baby is Eros plus one.
You mean the new record of Eros.
Yes.
The life force that comes forth from the master record.
You're getting warm.
The master record is Eros.
Yes, so apply this to your ancient Egyptian knowledge.
Eros is what they considered the soul called the Ba, and the coming forth of a new life form from the Ba is the Ka.
There are an infinite number of Kas from the one Ba.
Are there unique Bas?
That's where lineages are from.
Everything would be traced to a master Ba, however I think where it gets mixed is the combination of the Ba with the feminine principle of the reverse of the Ba which is the Ab.
The Ab is the heart, and the Goddess supplies those.
So, you are saying the Ba is masculine and the Ab is feminine.
That's what I'm telling you.
That would mean my idea of Eros as Cupid is masculine desire.
That's how it would look.
Feminine desire is love.
Yeah, but what kind of love?
Erotic desire.
Is that romantic love?
No, it's wanting.
So, lust then?
Yes.
Is lust, love?
Yes.
Then it's the highest form of love because lust creates life.
I'm not going to argue this point with you.
Okay, but lust is destructive.
No doubt, but it also is the creative force in the universe.
It's balance, which falls in line with your teachings.
Eros is rose.
Yeah.
That's why rose gold always appears in your life.
You can see it now.
Given a simple idea, I can create quite the story from it.
Yeah, where were we?
We were trying to get to the origin of Dion.
You mean who is he?
Yes.
He's Eros, all grown up.
Fuck, you're right.
Eros becomes a writer.
You can now see the connection in regard to lineage.
For a man, his sons have the same Eros to Dion within in combination with a unique heart supplied by the Goddess.
Okay, how about a woman?
The lineage is the heart.
Who is that?
Call her Mary.
There's something about Mary, right?
There sure is.
Dion is dormant within a female and Mary is dormant within a male.
Each carries them with them.
The dormant Mary within a man would awaken the sleeping Mary within their mate.
The power is undeniable when you meet your soulmate.
You are going to meet them, the pull is too strong.
Dion will always recognize the Goddess.
Okay, so this helps explain the ancient Egyptian concept of cyclical kingship called Kamutef where the pharaoh incarnated within his son at death.
Yes, because it's him.
It's Dion.
They just needed to remember that the divine mind within them is in their heir and at death they would enter into the new king.
Doesn't that sound like wishful thinking and hocus pocus?
It sure does.
What do you know about the Egyptians?
They were very skilled in magic.
What do you know about humans?
They are practical.
Do you think people were superstitious and this is all nonsense?
Some of it is.
People can be irrational as well.
I also know there are reasons for rituals which involve more than just pretending the magic spell is going to work.
Don't you think a priest would tell the pharaoh this story in order to keep his standing?
He tells him that when he dies, he will incarnate in his son.
The priest is then exalted in the court because he has that knowledge.
It's possible.
Wouldn't the new king recognize the magic power of the priest?
Yes.
If he was a charlatan, he'd be executed.
Instead, he was given more power.
So, you can see both sides of this knowledge that we have received from the ancient Egyptians.
Our rational and rigorous scientific minds will see deceit in the priest who tells this fantastical tale to the pharaoh.
The human mind who has been exposed to magic in this world will be intrigued by what they discover in the past.
Which side is correct?
You can take the side of the rational and say it's not believable, or you can believe it.
You're old and you have been to a lot of places.
You have travelled around the world and been to ancient ruins, places of power as told by historians and wisdom carriers, and you have sat with witch doctors and drank their potions in the dark night of the Amazon jungle.
What says you?
It's magic.
Can you quantify it?
No.
Then what's your rationale behind saying magic exists?
I've seen it.
I've lived it.
I can tell stories about it, but I can't explain it.
It's best to leave it at that.
If you're interested, I can give you some names and places to help you on your journey.
So, Eros and Dion are really the same.
Yes.
Just like Mary and the Goddess.
If you think of Eros as dual sexed, as in Eros and Mary, it will maintain your idea of 3.
Within Eros is the Goddess and Dion.
You can call them by different names if you wish.
What is important to see is Eros is the one, the androgyne who contains within the potential for all.
This is taught by the ancient Egyptians, if you have the capacity to understand it.
I can point you towards some blog posts I wrote which will try to explain this to you but be aware you need a background in Egyptian thought to try and understand it.
Yes, thanks, I wrote it for you.
Yeah, you did, though I don't think you quite understood at the time what you were writing.
I didn't because I hadn't lived it.
I do now.
I was aware that within Eros are the 3 and they are the monad you look for when you try and figure out the origin of creation.
Lust for life.
There are always reminders about the miracle of life and how to cherish it.
What is it?
The mind in a body.
Energy coalesces into form.
Plato's world of forms?
Plato was talking about another reality where forms are eternal.
Well, that's the mind.
There are no forms.
Plato posited that we are the shadows of perfect form.
He claimed there are perfect models of what we experience such as beauty, justice, and goodness.
It seems like he was on drugs and deluded.
Yes, of course.
He clung to a notion of a reality where everything was perfect and good.
He was describing the Goddess' utopia.
Exactly.
It's Heaven.
To maintain a perfect world of forms would require rules for everything.
There is no freedom in a perfect world.
What if that's what you want?
Then someone needs to explain to you that you will have no freedom in the perfect world you envision and are striving to get to.
In the perfect world that is envisioned, there would be no death.
Hades would be permanently banished.
This sounds like New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation.
Well, that's the Goddess and her utopia.
Imagine a world without death?
Life would be created because it's good and then in utopia there is no death.
Soon you would be crowded out and the bugs would get so bad you couldn't stand it.
It's perfect though.
Utopia is Hell.
Clearly.
What's Hell?
Hell.
Thanks.
Why is Hell, Hell?
It's imperfect, there is ugliness and injustice.
Everybody's free to do what they want.
This sounds like Earth.
No, on Earth we have rules.
We surveil everyone, we tag all humans, give them all an identity, and require a passport to travel.
Earth is full of rules.
Without these rules, Earth would become the wild west which devolves quickly into Hell because everyone does what they want and if you give humans that ability, it does not end well.
A rules based order is describing Heaven.
Isn't that a form of totalitarianism like Communism?
Yes, you could describe Heaven as Communist.
Why are Bible believing Americans so against Jesus' socialist paradise?
Mind control.
They have the freedom to believe what they want through the ideals America was founded upon, however these ideals are at odds with what they believe.
I see that.
So, you'd compare Hell to unfettered Capitalism.
There are many parallels.
Regulation interferes with the freedom to exploit others and make large sums of money.
On Earth we try to maintain a balance between letting companies prosper and applying the brakes to their rapacious behaviour.
Drug companies will make you chronically ill if that means they can hook you on a cure for your condition.
They will suck out as much money from your animated corpse until you are no longer useful to them.
You'd think at least they could pay for your funeral, but they leave that to your estate.
You have a dim view of humanity.
I'm a realist.
I call it as I see it.
Do you think you can find good in the world?
Yes, there is lots of it.
Those in power are psychopaths.
There's a psychopath within all of us.
How is psychopathology activated?
When they start to acquire power, they become psychotic.
It's easy to see.
Is there a solution or hope?
Checks and balances.
Rules, laws, and deterrents.
What about rules for thee, but not for me?
That's how a psychopath operates.
The examples in the world are plentiful, I feel no need to point them out.
